Last year, ABC Family introduced three new dramas — Twisted, Ravenswood, and The Fosters. Ravenswood (a Pretty Little Liars spin-off) has been cancelled while The Fosters has been renewed. What will become of Twisted?
Airing on Tuesday nights, Twisted is a mystery/thriller series that revolves around 17 year old Danny Desai (Avan Jogia). Six years ago, he was charged with killing his aunt and he ended up spending five years in juvenile detention. Now, he’s been released and has returned to his small hometown in New York. As he tries to resume his life, a classmate is killed and Danny becomes a key suspect. The cast also includes Madelaine Hasson, Kylie Bunbury, Ashton Moio, Kimberly Quinn, Denise Richards, and Sam Robards.
The pilot episode aired as a special preview in March 2013 and drew 1.19 million viewers. It wasn’t a great start but the ratings picked up when the regular season started in June. They quickly fell again but ABC Family ordered 10 additional episodes of Twisted anyway. That decision may have been influenced by the fact that they had recently cancelled Bunheads and The Lying Game.
When the second half of the season kicked off in February and viewership nearly hit a new low, despite the fact that it had popular Pretty Little Liars as a lead-in. Last week, when Twisted no longer had that strong lead-in, viewership hit an all-time low with just 726,000 viewers.
The second half of the season averaged 1.11 million viewers. Ravenswood was cancelled with higher viewership. Based on these numbers, it’s looking unlikely that ABC Family will order a second season of Twisted.
But, what do you think? Are you a fan? Should Twisted be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
8/13 update: ABC Family has cancelled Twisted after one season.
PLEASE RENEW IT! That show HAS many viewers!!
please renew Twisted. I look forward to it every week. Its way too good to let go!!!!!!!
Please bring it back for Season 2. There is a pretty good group of us tat watch it together. We enjoy the characters,the twists & turns, the possibilities for the story to go even darker and deeper. I think you all need to give it another chance.
Renew it! People watch this and Love this show, maybe not the exact time it airs but we always catch up in our free time from our busy lives. One of the best show on TV recently!

Do not cancel Twisted, I always look forward to my Tuesday nights when Twisted comes on and of course Pretty Little Liars. Its bad enough Ravenswood was cancelled another show that I watched as well. Please don’t take all the good shows away because of ratings. The many viewers that are actually watching these shows, are really big fans and wouldn’t want Twisted to be cancelled. Please let their be Season 2!
Twisted cannot be cancelled! Bring it back for season 2!
